So who is this man?  A remarkable man, born in Macedon, raised in Farmington, served in the 126th Company H at the beginning of the Civil War, served as Captain over black troops at the end of the war and during Reconstruction, started a business of cutting wood for the steam boats on the Mississippi, went back to the military and led the Seminole Negro Indian Scouts for many years, became an Indian agent, served as Paymaster at Fort Sam Houston, served in both the Philippines and Cuba during the Spanish American War, and retired a Brigadier General.  
I have just returned from Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas.  The Fort Sam Houston Historical Society hosted this display  of memorabilia from General Bullis' life.  We contributed letters that he sent to his Aunt Emma, photos of his family and home, etc., to the display.  So much history and so little time to learn it!!!
